RESPONSE OF MDOF TO GROUND MOTION
Kn = = Generalized Stiffness
Where:

EXAMPLE
Mode 1 contribution:
L1= = 10x1.0 + 15.0x0.67=20.05
= 1.195x1.255= [kN]
Vb(1)= [1 1] = 15.0+15.0=30.0 kN
EXAMPLE
Mode 2 contribution:
L1= = 10x1.0 + 15.0x-1.0=-5.0
= -0.20x2.55= [kN]
Sa(n) = (4)
{F} max = [m] {hn} matrix [m] is proportional to the weight of the floor at
the same level then the Eq. becomes:
= or
F 1= Vb in general form:
